The Americus Club of Pittsburgh com.
memorated the sixty th anniversary Of
Gen. Grants birth by banqueting At the
Monongahela House OF tLat city. The
tables in the banquet hall were arranged so

we're elaborately decorated with flower
pieces containing the initial letters Of the
deceased Presidents name and the dates
l822-lS87. Gov. Foraker occupied the seat
assigned Gen. Grant on the occasion Of the

his trip around the world. After the tables

him personally. On the contrary no WAS never

1t seemed as though he could not pos
sibly do anything more to increase the
he was held, but he could-and he did.
He was unwittingly involved and overwhelmed
by financial disaster, and practically at the
same time ,',s smitt.n by fatal ,nalady The ui,-
more clearly demonstrated than then. 1t would
be difficult TO exageoratc the heroic fortiiude
and true Christian patience he displayed in the
pathetic, unequal, but succesaful struggle that
followed. Job cried ont in his lamentations
and said, oh! that mino adversary had writ
ten book, as il that were. rs it probably is,
the most surely f. tai undertaking &ny ordi-
nary man can assume. Gen. Grants laat work
was to write a book. He Ind n double pur-
pose 10 serve. He sought not only to record
his recollection OF the great events with which
he had been identified, but also to provide
against want for tho faithful md deserving
companion OF his life and partner OF all his joys
and sorrows. 1t has been graphically said by
some one that as he sat at one side OF the table
writing, Death sa' at tho opposite side impa-
tiently waiting and watching
without tremor or q murmur, hedevoted
himself to his labor Of love- mercful Provi-
dence heightened his days and gave him
strength until the last line and word had been
written. and his heart had been glsddened by
the assurance that both his purposes had beon
accomplished, and then, IS gently as day into
